A Question, Maybe a Dumb question

Is there a type of Dendrobium with terete leaves? If there is, can anyone tell me what are they called?

I am asking this question, because during my last visit to my parents a couple of months ago, I saw this cane type of orchid (canes about 4-5 inches long) with terete leaves. The owner couldn't tell me what kind of orchid it is, "just orchid". She was growing it on a tree log in front of her house under full tropical sun. I didn't have a camera so I wasn't able to take photo, the plant was not in bloom at that time.

I know there is a vanda with terete leaves, and what I saw was deffinitely not a vanda teres.

Thanks for any info.

I think I found it. Den junceum.

Strange, I spent over a month googling, couldn't find it, posted the dumb question on this forum, go back to google and Bang! there it is, right in front of my flat nose .

Tanya, sorry--I missed this thread.

The only type of terrete-leaf Dendrobium species I know of besides junceum is Dendrobium wassellii and racemossum, but there may be quite a few others. Both of those are from Australia. When they bloom, they put out inflorescences with very thin-petalled, white, spidery-shaped flowers, and the leaves are pretty short and stocky looking. wassellii is also called Dockrillia wassellii, so you might do a google search on any of those and see if pics come up that look like the plant you saw. Almost all terrete-leaved orchids need full, direct sun, so she was definitely growing it in the right place!

During my google search, Ive come upon Dockrilla and some other species from Australia. But the woman can't afford imported orchids, so it has to be local (Philippines) species. I am now pretty sure its Den junceum because of the swollen pbs. Thanks, Louis.
